Nurses and social workers: rivals in the provision of social services? 1987

R Kulys, and M A Davis

As nurses strive to expand the areas in which they provide services, they may seek to perform tasks traditionally regarded by social workers as their own. This study asked hospice staff whether social workers or nurses were better qualified to perform social service tasks, and its findings suggest that role overlap may develop into a matter for social work concern.
